Not sure if this is obvious or not, but Lacuna, the fairy who hates pizza and candy and collects teeth as war trophies, means "cavity" in latin.... shes a tooth fairy... =)

Just sending out an appreciation post on the admins and contributors to this wiki. I’m a big wiki USER, but not great at helping create them due to time constraints. You guys, all the Dresden fans and wiki makers here are GREAT. This wiki rivals wookiepedia. Thorough. Well written. Cross referenced. Great endnotes.

I’ve been listening to the audio books and coming here has been fun.

Dresden has so many routes he could take to gain more power that it seems inevitable to me that he'll soon take one or two to deal with the newest threat. He has Lasciel's coin, a Sword of the Cross, Mab's offer to become the Winter Knight (already taken), and Demonreach. With all the spirits imprisoned in the island, he could perform the Darkhallow and become something on par with an Old One or two, since Azathoth the Sleeper may be in the island. If you add his Winter Knighthood, the possibility of becoming a Denarian, and the ability to basically pick another Knight of the Cross, he may have the potential to become the most powerful being in history.

Planning out a Dresden Files RPG campaign set in the Big Apple. This is what my group came up with for our faces, places, themes, ect. What do you think?

Themes:

• Center of the World, Everyone's Got a Stake

• Homelessness

• Apathetic Protectors

Venatori Umbrorum: The Venatori's chapter in New York forms a disorganized group of scholars in communication, in addition to the Huntsmen, a group of mostly supernaturals who take a more active role.

• Christopher Crowe: (PC) The leader of the Huntsmen. A hedge witch with an extreme talent for potions. Christopher can whip up almost any potion you can think of, with the quality surpassing most wizards. However, his magic beyond potioncraft is nearly non-existent. He wields a Viking longsword in combat, and carries automatic pistols in his boots. His potions can enhance strength and speed, induce intangibility, cause anger, or even detonate. However, ingesting more than one can be harmful. He is rather awkward and dorky, and likes learning things. In combat, he has trouble summoning the grit necessary to kill humans.

• Fatima Bilal ibn Rabah: (PC) A Muslim woman who channels True Faith. Fatima is Crowe's best friend. She grew up in a Muslim majority neighborhood, and is a part of a large community of Muslims in New York. She seeks to protect it from supernatural attacks, and her close relationships with members of the community define her motivations. However, she is single, and is often encouraged to get married, which annoys her. In combat, Fatima wields a hammer, and channels True Faith to embolden her allies, protect the innocent, and harm the unholy. Somewhat suspicious of the Venatori Umbrorum's upper leadership.

• Casper LaChaise: (PC) A ghoul scion who is leaning very close to Choosing to become a ghoul. He is a compassionate young man who channels his anger to help the homeless of Manhattan, volunteering at shelters. Casper grew up close to his ghoul father and seeks to please him, but his father is trying to manipulate him. Casper is working with Crowe and Fatima to investigate supernatural goings-on, but isn't a full-on Venator.

• Dr. Jebediah Crowe: Christopher's father. Not a member of the Huntsmen, but nonetheless a Venator. He is aware of the Oblivion War, and seeks to use the Huntsmen as a way to get a leg up. However, Christopher is close to him and doesn't know about his father's secrets, and Jebediah is quite loving towards his son and regrets lying to him. No magic to speak of, Christopher's magic came from his mother.

Minor Talents: There are many hedge witches scattered throughout New York's homeless population. They are preyed upon by various monsters, including ghouls, Red Court vampires, and especially wyldfae. The White Council condemns them as warlocks.

• Jessica Wednesday: (PC) An extremely powerful young sorcerer who grew up on the streets. Her talent for fire magic is nearly unparalleled, and she has broken the First Law several times, leaving her somewhat unstable. However, Jessica is trying to get help and do the right thing. She is working with the Huntsmen to find help, but is menaced by the demon Orandakallus, who seeks to turn her down a path of darkness.

Jade Court of Vampires: A family of jianzhi owns a tea store in Chinatown, feeding off of the souls of their customers and exerting a protection racket on the surrounding shops. Their influence is fairly low, however.

Wyldfae: Monstrous unaligned fae that wander the streets of Manhattan, preying on minor talents and hedge witches. Their numbers include ogres, hellhounds, and goblins.

• The Prince of Dogs: A powerful goblin who drives wyldfae predation on minor talents. He is a cruel, volatile figure who must be put down if the peace is to be kept. His power includes extreme physical strength and glamours that induce ferocity and rage.

White Council: Martha Liberty lives in Manhattan, and the White Council is covertly assassinating Red Court vampires. However, they're currently enduring a schism.

• Martha Liberty: A member of the Senior Council. Extremely powerful, but overly focused on the Red Court, and unwilling to do anything to jeopardize the White Council's power. She does want to help, but limits herself to advice.

• Robert Hopkins: A Warden Captain who seeks to eliminate all warlocks from the city, and condemns all homeless hedge witches as such. He and a splinter faction of Wardens have been making many executions and randomly searching other powers for warlocks. Everyone is getting fed up with him, and if he isn't dealt with soon, he could stir up a hornet's nest.

Red Court of Vampires: At war with the White Council, they are covertly killing off wizards when they can, and of course preying on anyone they can find.

• Duke Diego Garcia: The ruler of the Red Court faction in Manhattan. He is a cruel, powerful sorcerer who feeds off of the blood his underlings bring him. Doesn't want to rock the boat, and may ally with the heroes against greater threats, but Garcia's activities- including prostitution, drug trafficking, and sucking the blood of the innocent- are far too depraved to be ignored. His base is in a skyscraper called the Phoenix Needle, where he has set up enough magical traps to hold out against any opponent.

Hydrafax's Cult: Formed from many homeless minor talents, they worship Hydrafax as a god. He has plans to expand his territory and take Manhattan for himself.

• Hydrafax: A lesser dragon with grandiose aims, he broke from his master Ferrovax centuries ago. Extremely powerful, wielding powerful magic, and he grows stronger with the faith of his cult. If he isn't stopped he will plunge Manhattan into anarchy. The only figures who might stand a chance against Hydrafax are the Lady of Thaws, the Beast of Hoarfrost, Mama and Duke Garcia in their domains, and of course Ishtar.

• Joshua LaChaise: A high-ranked ghoul of the LaChaise clan and Carter's father. He and his faction of the LaChaise clan are working for Hydrafax as shock troops for his cult, expecting to become gods in the new world. Manipulative and abusive to his son Carter, who he seeks to possess as a reminder of his mother.

Summer & Winter Courts: While in other cities, the two Fae Courts would be endlessly squabbling, they have an uneasy truce in New York. There are so many influential figures in the city that if a turf war were to start, it could quickly spiral into a breach of the accords. As a result, the Fae work together to police the other groups.

• The Lady of Thaws: A Summer sidhe who leads the Summer Court in New York. Resembles a beautiful woman with green skin and auburn hair. An extremely skilled swordfighter and glamour user. She and the Beast work together to maintain order in Manhattan, and may be having an affair.

• The Beast of Hoarfrost: A Winter troll who leads the Winter Court in New York. Resembles a towering, white-haired beast with sharp horns. Extremely strong, and wields powerful ice magic. He and the Lady work together to maintain order in Manhattan, and may be having an affair.

Others:

• 9-11 Memorial: The memorial to those killed in the Twin Towers is more than just stone. The restless ghosts of the dead inhabit the area, and lash out against those connected to radical Islam.

• New York Aquarium: Home to a couple of Fomor.

• Metropolitan Museum of Art: Holds numerous powerful magical items which could turn the tide towards any of the various politicking factions. The museum itself is a genius loci that incarnates as a kindly old woman named Mama. Mama will thwart any attempts to steal from the museum, and is extremely powerful while on the museum's grounds. However, she can't leave the building.

• Ishtar: The Mesoamerican goddess of love, she retired to New York when it was first created. She seeks mostly to be left alone, and couldn't care less about the various power plays going on in the city. However, she does harbor a fondness for her old tenets of appreciation of love, and offers protection to LGBTQ+ people seeking shelter. Ishtar obeys the Accords because it suits her, but if she wanted, she could destroy the entire city and nobody could stop her. As an Old God, her power is on par with Mab or Titania.

The background picture is amazing. Is it possible to download or purchase a copy?

I am just starting to read this series because my mom wanted me to read it, and from all the series, she recommended me. This is one of my favorite, I am not done reading the series yet... From just putting my place here for the future.

It really bothers me that Murphy does Aikido.

It would make so much more sense if it was BJJ.

Had to take it off my mind

Hello all. You probably noticed if you're a dark mode user that a lot of the wiki's desktop skin was damn-near unreadable. I finally had some time to patch things, so now most pages including the main page should have a more legible & matching aesthetic.

Settings changes also extended to mobile.

If you notice any other areas still needing fixing please let me know & I can take care of it. I know a few infoboxes & navigational templates still need to be reskinned.

• What happens if you eat a denerian coin?

• If all myth are true does that mean enbys actually get magic powers?

• Has anyone ever had to explain to the Merlin what a movie was?

• Could you grind iron into a drink and would it still work on fae?

• Could someone take the nail of a cross sword out with pliers?

• Could an Asexual person singlehandedly beat up the white court?

• Do the actual mayan gods exist and if so are they pissed at the red court?

• Why do all of dresdens love interests get fridged?
